Janice Forsyth chats to Matt Haig about his latest non-fiction, The Comfort Book

Janice Forsyth chats to author Matt Haig, singer-songwriter Joseph Malik about his latest album, 'Diverse Part 3' and discusses Scotland's status as a film location

Author and mental health guru Matt Haig will be on the show talking about his latest non-fiction, The Comfort Book,  a collection of consolations learned in hard times and suggestions for making the bad days better.

With the news of Neil Gaiman’s Good Omens to be filmed in Scotland this year and big films like Fast and Furious 9 choosing to film in the capital, we’ll be looking at Scotland’s status as a film location  with Isabel Davis Screen Scotland’s Executive Director and Jenni Steele Film & Creative Industries Manager for Visit Scotland.

Singer songwriter Joseph Malik on his latest album release, Diverse Part 3” – the final instalment of his critically acclaimed trilogy – with its themes on BLM, racism and social issues.

Two University of Dundee graduates Ashling Larkin and Cat Laird tell Janice about their new comic venture that aims to challenge stereotypes surrounding careers in creative industries.  The comic illustrates that there's more than one way to break into the field and to break stigmas and negative stereotypes attached to creative careers.

Our Single of the Week comes from Bunkhouse, an experimental pop band from Glasgow.

And Anna Welander will be sharing her pick of new Scottish talent from BBC Upload.
